Man City Titles Stripped: United and Liverpool to Benefit
Man City Titles Stripped: United and Liverpool to Benefit

Manchester City have been found guilty on 114 of 115 financial breach charges spanning 2009 to 2018. While pending sanctions and potential appeals could prolong the case, the club faces the risk of retroactive loss of the three Premier League titles won during that period.

Manchester United Could Claim 2011/12 Title

Manchester United finished tied on points with their rivals in the dramatic 2011/12 season, losing the title strictly on goal difference. With a zero-point gap between them, United could claim this championship if City's title is revoked.

Liverpool in Line for 2013/14 Title

Liverpool finished as runners-up in the 2013/14 campaign, missing out on the trophy by just two points. That narrow margin puts them in a position to retroactively claim the title and add to their overall league trophy count.

Second United Crown and Record Haul

Manchester United finished second again in the 2017/18 season, albeit well off the pace. City set a record with 100 points that year, leaving a 19-point gap, but United would still inherit the trophy if the top spot is vacated.

Stripping City of these titles would ironically deliver the biggest advantage to their fierce rivals, United. The reshuffle would boost United's total to a record 22 top-flight championships, putting them just ahead of Liverpool on 21.
